Tang Tian shook his head, he didn't know why Walker would suddenly ask this.
"You guy, when did you pass the ball so steadily? I thought you could do everything!"
Walker couldn't help but complain.
"I haven't wasted my time with the Spurs this year."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Walker froze for a moment, then nodded.
That's right, the Spurs are the best passing team in the league, Tang Tian probably will become good at the team even if he is not in the team.
"I have to work harder."
Walker followed suit.
He thought his progress was big enough, but compared with Tang Tian, he was really far behind.
And with Butler as a training freak by his side, he will be motivated inadvertently.
Although Tang Tian can feel the change in himself, this ability is the same as the previous open three-pointer, and it takes continuous training to fully exert its strength.
So he also stepped up his training.
Thompson looked at the three crazy partners, and it was not appropriate for him to be lazy.
Ever since, the four brothers in the training hall worked harder one by one.
This is really hard work.
Sweat ticked every corner of the training hall.
Lamb and Drummond started to play in the summer league, and the four of them also practiced for half a month.
After half a month, they have all improved a lot.
Tang Tian also somewhat understood why the four Banana Boat brothers had such a good relationship when they were young.
When a group of people come together with a common goal, the efficiency is the highest.
After some success in training, Tang Tian is going to find some competitions to use in actual combat.
But before he found it, a call from Feigen interrupted his plan.
Tang Tian's continuous signing of domestic brands has attracted a new wave of heated discussions among domestic fans, and his popularity has suddenly increased in China.
Nike strikes while the iron is hot, ready to let him conduct a trip to China.
Chapter 299 Nike China Tour (2/5)
Hearing the word China trip, Tang Tian was a little touched.
It has been more than 2 years since he traveled, and he has not returned to China.
The parents of this body also occasionally contacted him.
Although there is no real family relationship, even though the real owner of this body is dead, since he has traveled through time, he has to bear some basic responsibilities.
Tang Tian agreed to the request of the China trip, and called the parents of this body, telling them that he would go back to China.
The parents over there were very excited.
Tang Tian's mood fluctuated after hanging up the phone. He was also a parent and knew the importance of children.
After saying hello to Walker, Tang Tian took his luggage, and then went to the airport with Fagan.
After meeting with the Nike people outside the airport, they boarded the plane back home.
The trip to China is a brand promotion event, and generally only brand spokespersons, such as Kobe Iverson, will have it.
Or at least you have to be a popular star, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you don't even have fans there.
Tang Tian was a special case. He played in the NBA as a Chinese, and he had just won the NBA championship as a starter and a main rotation player with the team.
In domestic terms alone, his popularity is actually higher than that of Yi Jianlian.
"When we arrive in China, we will meet with Yi first. He will join us in the China tour. There are three stops in this China tour. The first battle is Beijing, then Shanghai and Guangdong. During the event, we will find some children to compete with you. The theme is basketball dreams..."
On the plane, Nike staff was talking to him about some details of the event.
Tang Tian's English is first-rate, and he doesn't need an interpreter. He just nodded while listening.
This time besides Fagan, he also brought Karl.
Carl quickly focused on the point with paper and notes.
Karl is careful in doing things. Besides taking pictures, Tang Tian also intends to train him to be his assistant.
Taking him on this trip to China is also an attempt.
After sleeping on the plane, the plane soon landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.
As soon as he came out of the exit, Tang Tian found that there were hundreds of fans waiting outside to pick him up.
This battle was a bit unexpected for him.
In my previous life, I was a godfather and won more than N championships, but I have never encountered such a situation.
But that's the difference between a player and a coach.
No matter how young the coach is, this profession is not so easy to get close to. After all, the subconscious coaches are mostly older people.
But the players are different, so it feels closer.
Tang Tian glanced casually and found that more than half of the fans who picked up the plane were female fans.
The number of female fans is not many, it seems that he has already captured more than half of them.
Tang Tian treated the fans with care when he was abroad, and he treated them equally when he returned to China. He interacted with the fans basically whatever he asked for.
Fortunately, the people at Nike also knew Tang Tian's behavior and had reserved this time.
Tang Tian took a car to leave after finally taking a group photo with the fans.
"Your patience has earned you a lot of fans."
In the car, Fei Gen gave Tang Tian a thumbs up with a smile.
When he first went to San Antonio, he still felt that Tang Tian's patience with every fan was superfluous.
But after more than a year, including the scene he saw just now, Tang Tian moved him with his actions.
Tang Tian smiled and said nothing, but looked out of the car.
The high-rise buildings, row upon row, busy scene.
These scenes in the country really have an indescribable intimacy for him.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Tang Tian put down his luggage, and he also met Yi Jianlian again at the hotel.
The two big men fist bumped and hugged.
Yi Jianlian stayed in the NBA because of some suggestions at the beginning, and Yi Jianlian has great respect for Tang Tian now.
A group of people went out for lunch, took a rest after eating, and then went straight to the event site.
The event was held at the street court, and the sidelines were already crowded with people.
Tang Tian's popularity is really much higher than he imagined.
"Let us give the warmest applause to the members of the NBA Spurs championship team, the godfather who steals James' lore, Don~~ God!!"
When the on-site host introduced him to the stage in a very rough way, the cheers on the scene exploded.
"Godfather! Godfather!"
The fans shouted Tang Tian's nickname in unison, and the scene was a bit spectacular.
To win the championship and hit so many key shots or even lore goals, this is something Yao Ming has never done.
And Tang Tian is still just a rookie, his performance is even more dazzling than Yao Ming's rookie season.
Beyond?Although it is a bit exaggerated to say it now, at least it has this potential.
So this kind of crazy scene is actually completely reasonable.
Tang Tian felt the enthusiasm of the fans, and Huang Xing, the official of the Chinese Basketball Association, appeared in his mind unconsciously.
Such fans gave him the urge to leave everything behind and fight for the country.
Events start soon.
Nike really has a heart this time. They have made preparations before this, and selected many young boys with potential around ten years old from Beijing.
It started with their respective presentations.
These little boys dribbled and shot, all of them looked good, which drew cheers from the fans and Tang Tian's applause.
These are new hopes for Chinese basketball.
In addition to applauding, Tang Tian also paid attention to these children, and two of them attracted him very much.
One is looking at eleven or twelve-year-old children. Their skills are really good, and they stand out among all the people.
The other one is younger, only eight or nine years old, and poorly dressed, and it can be seen that he has not received professional training.
But he worked very hard, the kind of hard work that can be felt at a glance.
At the end of the presentation, they all introduced themselves.
"My name is Wang Quanze, and I am currently studying in Beijing No. [-] Middle School. I am playing center and power forward in the team, but I have the skills of a small forward. My dream is to play in the NBA like the godfather and UAE. "
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy spoke quite aura, especially when he said he wanted to play in the NBA, the cheers and whistles on the sidelines exploded.
It is not scary to have a dream, even if it is far away. The scary thing is not daring to think about it.
"If you have a dream, go after it."
Tang Tian smiled and gave Wang Quanze a thumbs up.
These words also drew a burst of applause from the fans on the sidelines.
Compared to Wang Quanze, the other boy that Tang Tian paid attention to seemed much more shy and nervous, and his speech stuttered a bit.
But he said a lot.
After he finished speaking, Tang Tian froze on the spot.
"My name is Lin Yi, and I'm a kid from the mountainous area of Chengdu, where the entire school is a fan of the Godfather.
The TV signal in our place is not good, but our principal said that when the Olympic Games arrive, the school will install a large satellite TV receiver.
That way we'll get to see The Godfather play in the Olympics. "
Chapter 300 Some Balls Must Be Hit (3/5)
Even in his previous life, Tang Tian never thought about such details.
His appearance has affected many people.
Just like Lin Yi in front of him.
Poverty lowers people's starting point, limits people's vision and even the future, but it cannot deprive people of their most primitive love.
The TV signal is not good, but there will be newspapers.
Basketball Pioneer, Sports Weekly...
In the above news, Tang Tian hit a key three-pointer to help the Spurs win their first victory in the finals; Tang Tian hit a lore shot to help the Spurs rewrite the score to 3-0; Tang Tian steals James and makes two free throws to seal the championship.
The pictures of the news with braided rope bracelets, the pictures of holding the championship, and the pictures of the championship parade.
Although Tang Tian hadn't seen them before, he could still imagine them.
There is no mobile phone, no TV, but these are topics that children talk about after class.
